Not a diamond (Quartz crystal / Glass or synthetic simulant showing inclusions) · Rough crystal / Uncut geometric crystal habit
Not applicable (Raw/uncut mineral specimen) Cut
Carat
Cannot be accurately determined visually from a macro photo without scale, estimated > 5 carats equivalent volume
Color
Colorless with iridescent/surface coating effects
Clarity
Included (Contains prominent internal fracture planes and swirl inclusions)
Shape
Rough crystal / Uncut geometric crystal habit
Overall Assessment
Visual analysis indicates this specimen is a mineral crystal or glass simulant rather than a genuine diamond, featuring prominent internal fractures and iridescent surface features
Cut Quality
Not applicable (Raw/uncut mineral specimen)
Brilliance
Low to moderate due to raw state and internal fracturing
Fire
Low, typical of quartz or glass simulants rather than diamond
Scintillation
Poor, lacking standard faceted sparkle
Proportions
Not applicable to faceted gems
Symmetry
Natural crystal symmetry showing hexagonal/prismatic tendencies
Polish
Raw crystal faces with some altered/coated surfaces
Fluorescence
Indeterminate from visual inspection
Inclusions
Prominent internal feathers, fractures, and swirl/distortion patterns
Blemishes
Surface abrasions and irregular growth features
Origin
Natural quartz or synthetic lab-grown crystal simulant
Treatment Detection
Potential surface coating or aura treatment visible via iridescent sheen
Estimated Value
Nominal value as a mineral specimen or decorative glass piece (very low monetary value compared to diamonds)
Certification Estimate
Not eligible for diamond certification labs like GIA; requires standard gemological lab testing (e.g., GIA Identification Report)
Investment Potential
None; ornamental or educational value only
Similar Diamonds
None, as this specimen is not a diamond
Setting Suggestions
Wire-wrapped pendant or mineral display stand
Care & Maintenance
Avoid harsh chemicals, ultrasonic cleaners, and extreme temperature shocks
Interesting Facts
The swirling internal structures closely resemble stress fractures or cooling patterns typical in quenched glass or heated quartz
